Using "curl" function and its outputs

Is there any scaling that happens to the data when using the "curl" function? I am inputting x,y,u,v (u and v are in N/m^2). Is the output of data for the "curl" matrix then also in N/m^2 or are the values scaled in some way?

Provided you enter x and y as inputs to the 'curl' function, the curl output units are of the field units per x-y units. In other words, if the field units are volts and the x,y units are meters, then the curl outputs are in volts per meter. This is what you would expect from taking the partial derivatives of field values with respect to x,y values.
